Do you get bird flu from eating birds? That doesn't make sense. Does anyone eat raw birds? Wouldn't you just get it from being around birds?

Eye splash, breathe dust from cleaning a chicken house, or vicsera that harbor many copies of the virus. This is why we throw the guts out of most things before we continue preparation. Imagine a bucket of raw inverted chicken lungs. Ew.
